Not sure I posted this here: a pretty long listen, but I did an episode of the Maniculum podcast where I sat down and talked to the hosts, Zoe and Mac, about the great medieval Georgian epic the Knight in Panther Skin with a view towards re-using and understanding it anew as inspiration for modern fantasy/TTRPGs.
I hope someone out there finds it interesting! Thoughts welcome if you have time for a listen :)

Meanwhile, #Sakartvelo has been protesting for the 22nd day in a row
By this time, the protests had turned into evening gatherings in front of parliament with the singing of folk songs and the shouting of political slogans.
However, the number of protesters continues to be considerable.
It seems that the pro-#Russian "#Georgian_Dream" has decided to wait until #Georgians themselves get tired of walking around downtown #Tbilisi every night.
